    How do I "mash" oats

    Thanks to all. I had no idea. I bet that makes a big difference.

    How do I "mash" oats

    Thinking about making an oatmeal stout and one kit I looked at called for mashing the oats to get a more oat taste. How would I go about mashing the oats. I do not have mashing equipment. Also, any suggestions on kits?

    I am thinking that my next brew will be an oatmeal stout. I have a question

    I know some put extra DME in a brew. Someone told me that doing so would upset the balance of a recipe/kit. He said people do that to increase the alcohol percent. I have heard it increases the malt flavor. Would it be a good idea or not.

    What will my ABV be

    even if the ending SG was only 1.010? I hope so. Thanks

    What will my ABV be

    An oatmeal stout. The instructions said the Original SG would be 1.048. I did not take a reading. It only fermented down to 1.010. I presume the ABV will be very low. How much will it be.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I hope to be bottling my first successful brew this weekend, an oatmeal stout ala Samuel Smith. I made two other batches of beer but made some mistakes in both. IT all got drank mind you.

    Stout did not ferment near enough.

    In a warmer place it dropped to 1.020 in a day, then about 1.018 the next day. At what point do you think it will stop and I should bottle.

    Stout did not ferment near enough.

    I checked my hydrometer in water. It is ok. I moved it inside my house but unfortunately it was in a cooler spot ( I did not know this) than it should be and it only warmed up to 60 degrees F. However, the SG went from 1.030 to 1.020. I placed in a warmer spot. I will wait another day or so...

    Stout did not ferment near enough.

    Thanks for the help guys. I am using a hydrometer. I had acquired the yeast from my LBSH the week before. He sells lots of yeast. I will try heating it up to the high sixties and repitching yeast.

    Stout did not ferment near enough.

    I started an oatmeal stout around the 21st of October. I stirred it good the day after I pitched the yeast. I may have stirred it the next day. IT was fermenting very well and since I was leaving town, I put the bucket top on with a airlock. I was gone longer than I anticipated and did not get...

    Scorched at bottom of pot

    I was brewing an oatmeal stout in an aluminum pot. IT was a thin pot and the gas burner was a jet burner. I was doing a rolling boil. When I emptied the pot, there as significant scorching on the bottom. Will that affect the taste of the stout? thanks
